About

I have always possessed an affinity to make my surroundings pleasing to the eye. In this “Second Act” of my life, I have discovered that my art allows the exploration of this attraction in a particularly powerful way… a creative power surge that pushes me forward with confidence and a dauntless spirit for the journey that lies within each new piece.

I start by using a large brush and palette knife and lots of paint; using colors arbitrarily and with a bit of whimsy, applying these colors messily - alternating between thick and pigmented or thin and watery, layering as the piece takes form. The shapes created begin to take on the structure and “bones” as this process continues.

My approach to a canvas starts with a propelling idea, particular thought or color direction. The final composition will eventually capture and provoke the feeling and sense of a personal experience or reflection of a moment.

Kim Romero is an impressionistic abstract painter, whose natural attraction to the relationship between colors and textures is not surprising given her thirty years experience in interior décor, food presentation, and garden design.
